The BMW Maintenance Program is a benefit designed to help reduce the cost of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. Exclusions from coverage – Items reimbursable under your New BMW SAV Limited Warranty. – Gasoline and gasoline additive. – Windshield washer additive (except when in conjunction with scheduled maintenance). – Tires, wheel alignment, tire balance and rotation. – Wear and tear of soft trim items, such as: seats, carpets, moldings, headliner, door panels and all chrome trim. – Damage detected when performing the rust perforation inspection. – Damage which results from negligence, improper operation of the vehicle, wear and tear or deterioration due to driving habits or conditions, improper repair, environmental influences, flood, accident or fire damage, road salt corrosion, alteration, installation of non-BMW accessories, or use of improper, poor quality or contaminated fuel. – Altered or unreadable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or odometer irregularities or vehicles where the true mileage cannot be determined. – Maintenance or repair after the vehicle is deemed a total loss. – Maintenance or repairs performed by other than an authorized BMW SAV center within the United States or Puerto Rico. – Vehicles used in competitive events. – Oil changes performed outside the recommended maintenance intervals as indicated by the Service Interval Indicator. Every 2006 X3 purchased from an authorized BMW SAV center in the United States or Puerto Rico is covered by The BMW Maintenance Program for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Coverage begins on the date of first retail sale or the date the vehicle is first placed in service as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever is earlier. Any authorized BMW SAV center in the United States or Puerto Rico will perform the scheduled or additional maintenance services on your vehicle at no expense to you. The maintenance schedule intervals are based on normal driving conditions and operation. Should you request more frequent maintenance service, the cost of these services will not be covered by the Maintenance Program. Coverage The BMW Maintenance Program covers all factory-recommended maintenance, as determined by the Service Interval Indicator. Additional items that need replacement due to normal wear and tear, and that are not covered by the original New SAV Limited Warranty - such as brake pads, brake rotors and wiper blade inserts - are included, provided wear and tear exceeds BMW specifications. Any adjustments required due to normal operating conditions are also included. See pages 5-8 of this booklet for additional information. Maintenance Intervals Time intervals should be followed using the maintenance interval as indicated by the BMW Service Interval Indicator lights on the check control panel in the dashboard. Maintenance Upgrade Option Please contact your authorized BMW SAV center for information regarding an optional 6 year 100,000 mile maintenance upgrade. This BMW X3 Service and Warranty Information Booklet should be presented to your authorized BMW SAV center when maintenance is required. 1 Maintenance Program The Service Indicator consists of five green, one yellow and one red Iight-emitting-diodes (LEDs) and the inscriptions “OIL SERVICE” and “INSPECTION”. The BMW Maintenance Program has been devised with the following objectives: to maximize vehicle safety, reliability, and resale value by minimizing breakdowns resulting from wear, and minimizing cost and inconvenience by computing maintenance intervals based upon the specific manner in which each individual vehicle is driven. Whenever the ignition is switched on, up to five green LEDs will light up, depending on the amount of use the vehicle has had since the last maintenance service and your driving style. As the number of illuminated green LEDs decreases, this is an indication that the next service is almost due and helps you to make the necessary arrangements on a timely basis. Maintenance intervals on motor vehicles have conventionally been specified based upon accumulated mileage. However, the type of driving conditions has a major influence on routine maintenance requirements; distance traveled is only one of the significant factors. A vehicle driven for 50,000 miles of short trips in the city with numerous cold starts, prolonged periods of idling, stop-and-go driving, and high engine speeds during acceleration requires more frequent maintenance intervals than a vehicle driven for 50,000 miles for long distances at low engine speeds primarily at operating temperature. The green LEDs disappear when the engine is started. Notification that maintenance is required is indicated with the illumination of the yellow LED and accompanying inscription. These will remain illuminated with the ignition on. If the maintenance interval has been exceeded, the red LED will light up in addition to the yellow one to remind you of the urgent need for servicing. In the interests of road safety and reliability, you should avoid driving your BMW when the red LED signal is showing, and have the essential maintenance work performed without delay. The advanced technologies at BMW have led to the development of the unique BMW Service Interval Indicator System which computes the actual optimum maintenance requirements based not only upon the accumulated mileage, but taking into account important factors such as engine coolant temperatures, high or low engine speeds, short or long trip driving, and number of vehicle starts. The maintenance interval may therefore be maximized with considerable savings to owners of vehicles subjected to light duty. After each maintenance is performed the service indicator is reset in order to compute the next service interval. The green LEDs which then light up with the ignition show you the interval before the next maintenance is due. If the service indicator displays an illogical reading, for instance the green and red LEDs at the same time, or if there is no display, consult an authorized BMW SAV center. If the speedometer, tachometer or coolant temperature gauge should develop a fault, the service indicator will probably cease to operate correctly as well, since it depends on correct speed, distance and temperature readings. The fault must be located and rectified by an authorized BMW SAV center. (Typical Display) A detailed list of all maintenance operations included in each of the elements of the BMW Maintenance Program is found on pages 4-8. These elements are as follows: 32 88 02 30 2 Quality Certification I will be performed by your authorized BMW SAV center and certified on the following page. – Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every two years. – Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and must therefore be replaced every 100,000 miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy and minimize exhaust pollution. The replacement of the oxygen sensor is required under the terms of the applicable BMW emission system warranties. The performance of certain subsequent maintenance elements, as required by the BMW New SAV Limited Warranty, will be specified at intervals computed by the BMW Service Interval Indicator as follows: – Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed with the engine at operating temperature. Note: Change oil at least once a year. All 2006 BMW X3s are factory-filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic oils. At the time of the printing of this booklet, the following oils are strongly recommended and approved by BMW: – Spark Plug Service: The X3 is equipped with platinum-tipped spark plugs. These allow a longer service life than conventional plugs. Replace spark plugs every 100,000 miles. – Automatic Transmission Service: Change ATF every 100,000 miles. • BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866) The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and does not need to be changed. • Mobil 1 5W-30 Please see your authorized BMW SAV center for the most current information. • Mobil 1 5W-40 BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for inclusion in our list of recommended motor oils. For the most current list of synthetic oils, please contact your authorized BMW SAV center, or call BMW of North America, LLC. at 1 800 831-1117. You can also obtain this information from our website, www.bmwusa.com. BMW recommends that you check your engine oil level whenever you add fuel to your vehicle. If you need to add oil between oil changes and are unable to obtain BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or another special oil on the list, use a synthetic oil with an API rating of SJ or higher. – Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance as specified in the following pages under Inspection I. – Inspection II: Additional major vehicle maintenance as specified in the following pages under Inspection II. For your convenience, you may also wish to have your authorized BMW SAV center perform any necessary operations to fulfill any state inspection requirements in your area concurrent with the maintenance elements specified above during other repairs. Make sure that confirmation of maintenance work is always entered in this SAV Service and Warranty Information Booklet. You may need this for any warranty claims that become necessary, and later on as evidence that your SAV has been given the correct and regular maintenance that justifies its resale or trade-in value. BMW has applied the most modern technological advances not only to the design and production of your SAV, but also to computing of the optimum maintenance interval for your type of operations and driving style. Your authorized BMW SAV center has made a substantial investment in unique BMW special service tools to enable his BMW factory trained service technicians to perform quality repairs on your BMW in minimal time. He/she looks forward to serving your every service need and to help maximize your satisfaction with your BMW, its longevity, and resale value. The following maintenance elements must be performed at the mileage/time stated (time intervals begin from the vehicle’s production date): 3 Quality Certification I Unscheduled Maintenance Only use fuels advertised to have adequate detergency and low alcohol content. Use of fuels with insufficient detergent and/or excess alcohol can cause driveability problems that necessitate cleaning intake valves and fuel injection valves, and, when applicable, adjusting the engine idle. We suggest having this work performed by your authorized BMW SAV center, perhaps while regular maintenance is performed. Your authorized BMW SAV center can also recommend a gasoline additive that will provide sufficient detergency. While this recommended unscheduled maintenance is not required in order to maintain the emission warranty, cleaning of intake valves or, when applicable, fuel injection valves, or adjustment of engine idle, necessitated by use of inappropriate fuel, is not covered by warranty because no defect in material or workmanship or component failure is involved. For a detailed list of items inspected, refer to the Quality Certification I form provided to the Owner at time of delivery. A copy of the form is on file at the authorized selling BMW SAV center. Special Note Maintenance items and schedules stated herein reflect the combined recommendations for all model 2006 BMW X3s, and are subject to change. The most current maintenance recommendations are available from your authorized BMW SAV center. 4 Engine Oil Service Engine Compartment X3 3.0i Change oil and oil filter while engine is at normal operating temperature.

Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and must therefore be replaced to maximize vehicle fuel economy and minimize exhaust pollution. The mileage interval varies according to individual driving conditions and is determined by the service interval indicator. 13 Battery Care All floor panels receive a resilient coating of PVC for maximum protection against damage due to stones, etc. If your X3 is driven only for short distances of less than 10 miles over a prolonged period of time, without an occasional drive at highway speeds, the engine’s charging system will not maintain the battery. Insufficient use of the SAV could result in short term starting problems and in the long term could damage the battery. Corrosion protection materials tested over many years are applied to the surfaces of cavities and to the entire underside of the vehicle during and after assembly. Requirements for maintaining the twelve-year unlimited mileage anti-corrosion warranty are outlined in the Warranty Section of this Statement (page 31). In case the SAV is not operated for more than four weeks it is advisable to: a. consider using a proper trickle charger, following the charger manufacturer’s instructions, to maintain the battery’s state of charge; or Restoring corrosion protection Please take care that anti-corrosion material is replaced when your car is repaired after body or chassis damage. b. consult your BMW SAV center regarding battery removal. Once removed, the battery must be charged and stored in a cool, dry place where it can be protected from freezing. If the battery will be stored for over 3 months, it must be recharged every 3 months, or else it will become damaged and useless. BMW will not accept any liability for any parts and accessories not approved by BMW. Underbody maintenance The underbody has to be cleaned at least once a year, in spring, with plain water in order to remove mud, chemical sediments and other deposits. If those materials are not removed, corrosion (rust) will occur. Please consult with your BMW SAV center for further guidance and information. Corrosion Protection Your BMW SAV center will do this anti-corrosion service for you. Extensive corrosion protection measures implemented by BMW now make it possible to offer a 12-year limited mileage anti-corrosion warranty against rust perforation on your SAV provided that the SAV is maintained in accordance with the provisions of the New SAV Limited Warranty as outlined in the Warranty Section of this Statement (page 29). WARNING WARNING: Do not apply additional undercoating or rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or heat shields. During driving, the substance used for undercoating could overheat and cause a fire. The major degree of corrosion protection is due to the electrophoretic dip painting process which cathodically deposits paint particles on all body parts, attracting paint particles into the minutest cavities or seams. Body parts are designed to provide optimum corrosion protection. During manufacture, exterior body parts receive an additional corrosion protection coat. Hood, trunk, doors and other body parts with metal folds are coated with PVC and sealed from the outside. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Customer Assistance Information 6. Servicing BMW SAV center’s name.
